Curator/Archaeologist

Jamtli is looking to strengthen its cultural heritage work and is therefore seeking an archaeologist for its project operations. The position is located in the Cultural Heritage Department, which includes the museum's archaeological and conservation staff. The department consists of both a project component and an advisory component, with this position being 100% project-funded. The main responsibilities include independently working within contract archaeology and other externally funded projects, including reporting and financial follow-up. Who are you? As an archaeologist at Jamtli, you will be part of a small team where your strong collaboration skills and enthusiasm for the profession contribute to the team's capabilities and development. You have extensive professional experience and contribute to the development of Jamtli's archaeological project operations while also supporting other staff members. Your solid knowledge in the field of contract archaeology, including its regulations and tools, enables you to work independently while also growing with the tasks. It is essential that you have good knowledge of digital field documentation and GIS (total station/RTK-GPS, and the software ESRI and QGis) as the position will involve the development of field support that Jamtli currently uses and will continue to use in its archaeological activities. You will also participate in externally funded research and development projects within the cultural heritage field. The position is based in Östersund, but you will have large parts of Norrland as your workplace. Assignments in other parts of the country may also occur. Your tasks will include: • Archaeological investigations in connection with developments, primarily step 1 investigations. • Smaller archaeological surveys, step 2, preliminary investigations, and in some cases, final investigations. • Development and responsibility for the GIS usage in contract archaeology and the development of the field support we require. • Administration related to the projects, including finance, planning, and reporting. • Applications for external funding for archaeological projects/research projects. We are looking for someone who has: • An academic degree with archaeology as the main subject at least at the master's level. • Several years of experience in independently conducting archaeological investigations, including reporting, and the ability to independently assess ancient and cultural remains. • Good knowledge of relevant legislation (Cultural Heritage Act, Environmental Code, etc.) and the regulations of contract archaeology. • Good knowledge of and experience with ESRI software (especially ArcGisPro) and QGis. • A valid driver's license (B). • Proficiency in both spoken and written Swedish. • The ability to work in a structured, solution-oriented, and communicative manner. It is advantageous if you have: • Experience in preparing environmental impact assessments and consultation documents. • Worked with Sámi issues in connection with investigations and research projects. • Completed a course in registration in the Cultural Heritage Register (Fornreg) at the National Heritage Board. • Experience in writing quotes and bids.
